Universal Studio Tour
4.8/533 ReviewsLos Angeles13.9km from downtownParks
"This is one of the most worth playing at Universal Studios Los Angeles. For the car sightseeing control, there may not be one. The Chinese version of the interpreter's shuttle bus only has two or three times a day, most of them in English, and one is in Spanish. If you want to listen to the Chinese interpretation, you have to grab a point. The ride takes an hour, and the pattern after the journey is definitely worthwhile. It’s not good to take pictures midway - in fact, taking pictures will also delay the enjoyment of your senses and bodies. So I had to put a few sketches of its doorway and surrounding environment."Highlights: The studiotour is a Universal Studios Hollywood attraction where you can ride on an open mini bus that can take you for a stroll through the studio.

The downtown Los Angeles bus is fairly convenient, and there are people taking the subway, transfer to the bus or take a section. Grand Park, overall quite good, quiet and elegant city park, pigeons and birds have fun with people. Every time I go, I see someone reading. It used to be a book, but now it is mainly mobile phones and Ipads. I saw people reading quietly in the park and felt that the world was still beautiful. The calm and low-key ups and downs are wonderful."Highlights: GrandPark in downtown Los Angeles is a beautiful urban oasis.
